Our study is to research and analyze the PID patients of a certain region to give a better perspect of the disease for adequate prevention and management. METHODS: From March 1998 to December 2001, we underwent retrospective studies on medical records of 130 admitted PID patients in po-hang Dong-guk university hospital. RESULTS: Our of all gynecologic patients, 14.4% were PID patients. 17.7% of these were teenagers and patients who were in there twenties consumed up to 50.8%. The disease mostly occured within 8 days of the first menstruational day. Common etiology of the disease was unmarried state, using IUD as a contraceptive and previous artificial abortion. CONCLUSION: PID patients who are in their teens or twenties represented 68.5% of all PID patients. PID in younger ages keeps increasing and seems to be a trend. Secondary treatment of the disease is undoubtfully important, but primary prevention such as sexual education and birth control must also be considered.
